The latest one that shows that the UCP are not conservationists is Todd Loewen allowing 14 year olds the right to run around without an adult in sight to use their laser hunting scopes and shoot cougars. Those are three different new legislations all wrapped in one big loss for wildlife in one scenario. All for Loewen's huge conflict of interest in a guiding and hunting business that is family owned.

This has got to be one of the worst written articles I’ve read in a long time. There’s no clear reason or logic to why they’re tossing a working and expanding federal program and asking the province to create a whole new one??

Not surprising in the slightest considering the ridiculous list of demands DS has made to the federal government which are entirely about reversing any shred of initiative to help the environment.

I suspect this quote explains their motivation..“On top of that, Alberta has many beautiful private dental plans or dental plans managed through an employer. […] There’s a significant risk that this federal plan can damage or eliminate these beautiful plans that Canadians have gotten used to.” Beautiful private dental plans??? Sounds like Trump and his "beautiful tariffs."

I have no idea what that article was about. Was it a thinly veiled attempt to throw shade at the federal dental plan and keep private insurance plans relevant? What nonsense, of course you can keep your private dental coverage while a federal plan is in place. Good grief! Sounds like the Republican's nonsense they tried to use as an argument against universal healthcare in the US.

I’m sure this won’t end up being a plan where you have to take out a second mortgage to save a tooth. Oh wait, that’s the dental plan we already have. Silly me.

The legislation is to allow 12 year olds to run around with guns. not 14.

The Alberta Government is a failure on every file except oil and gas. the only thing Danielle really cares about. They want to sell us out to Trump as well which makes them a total and complete failure.

The Alberta seniors plan is very limited basic treatment plan. You get 5000.00 to last 5 years. If you use it up in 3 years you are on the hook for the next 2 .You can get additional coverage at a cost. Alberta Blue Cross offers A, B , or C for seniors,My dental office has no problem with the Federal PlanI believe if a dental office is having problems they have not taken the time to understand it

This statement couldn't be any further from the truth: "All of our planning starts with listening to our residents" Absolutely laughable!

I didn't have any problem understanding when I had a work dental plan and when I have a government plan. But that wont' stop the UCP from once again adding confusion and duplication and cost to anything they touch. If the problem is staffing then get on the staffing problem. Don't use the Trump tactic of breaking things as a distraction for incompetence. Everyone can see through that these days.
Without development, everyone has to pay much more tax.

As if the Town actually cares what people think. Tanya and her crew have their own agendas/priorities, and the people of Okotoks have zero say UNLESS it aligns with Tanya's view. And who exactly thought it would be a great time to inundate people with robo-calls to fill out a survey during a federal election when we're already getting badgered by robo-calls for our votes??? Classic. Read the room, Tanya.

This is not true. How old was this headline? Any Alberta dentist who follows the provincial fee guide, does not have the highest fees in Canada.

There is data showing that some employers have already dropped their dental benefits for employees, and this was before the CDCP expanded to the 18-64 yr old cohort. If you review what coverage the federal plan offers it is not nearly as comprehensive coverage as what most employer-sponsored dental benefit plans offer. So, why trade in a good benefit for a lower benefit?

UCP is just plain and simply a joke. Anything health related should be taken away from the province of Alberta and a fed should step in and run. TBH e fiasco with AHS is enough to show how deep the corruption with the UCP runs with health care. The announcement of public money for a privelate health care institution in Airdrie now?? Get real. This stinks of American type policies and has the musk of that rat identifying as a Canadian Smith.
